The cost of the floods and storms that hit Victoria earlier this year is set to rise, with the Victorian government pledging a further $73 million to fund the recovery.
The June storms brought down trees, caused major flooding and destroyed powerlines across the east of the state.
The event affected two million hectares of public land, including in the Dandenong Ranges and Gippsland, state Environment Minister Lily D'Ambrosio says.
Under the funding package announced on Saturday, $27.6 million will go towards repairing roads and access tracks needed for firefighting.
A further $10.7 million will fund safety works in forests and parks, with work on hazardous trees costing another $7.5 million.
The Gippsland riverbank also needs work, to the tune of $5.2 million.
Other funds will go to removing fallen trees, protecting Aboriginal sites, assessing and protecting threatened species, and weed control.
The funding package comes on top of $25.7 million already set aside to help residents recover.
"The June storms affected communities across much of the state and we are supporting the continued response that is protecting our environment and infrastructure," Ms D'Ambrosio said.
